- A YouGov poll looked at 19 ways foreigners have been accused of abusing Italian food... Results found 11 ways people eat Italian food that Italians find unacceptable.... The absolute worst is eating ketchup with pasta, which scored a -82, meaning more people find it unacceptable than acceptable (so true!)
Other ways of eating Italian food that Italians find unacceptable include:
- Putting pasta in cold water and then boiling it (-71)
- Having pineapple on pizza (-63)
- Having pasta as a side dish (-55)
- Cutting long pasta with a knife (-46)
- Including cream in carborara sauce (-45)
- Having cheese on a pasta meal that contains seafood (-39)
- Rinsing or cooling off pasta under cold water (-23)
- Drinking a cappuccino after an Italian meal (-23)
- Not adding salt to boiling water for pasta (-17)
